Booked by 3 families in Gainesville, VA

Hi everyone, I’m a certified nurse aid with lots of experience with caregiving for children and the elderly. Prior to being a nurse aid, I was a preschool teacher with FCPS. I’m child and adult CPR certified as well. I’m a mother of four and have three grandchildren. All of my children have finished college and the youngest just became a doctor! I can do weekdays, weekends, holidays, and part and full time positions, if I am not already booked! I look forward connecting with you!

“Ms. Farkhonda was absolutely delightful! She was thoughtful, professional and prompt. My son had a wonderful time talking, playing games and spending time with her. I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking a sitter!”

Linda $25 per hour for 1 child

About Linda P. EDIT I have always enjoyed working with children. I started babysitting in junior high and by the time I was in high school I had an afternoon job at a local day care center. I went on to get my teaching degree in Elementary Education and taught five years of third grade and a year of kindergarten. After having three children of my own and taking some time off I went back to teaching but decided to try preschool instead and ended up teaching 8 years of it. After teaching elementary I was surprised at how much I loved working with the little ones. I was the lead teacher for a 3 and 4 year old class for 5 years and my last three years I taught a 5 day a week k-4 position. Over the last 10 years I’ve been doing part-time /full time Nanny jobs. I have worked for over 18 families and have taken care of over 41 children ranging from newborn to 12 years olds. I have enjoyed using my teaching skills and early childhood training to create a loving , nurturing, fun and safe environment for each child I take care of. I appreciate all the opportunities I have had to work with such wonderful parents and their amazing children.

Lhora Brown $20 per hour for 1 child

I have told that I'm really good with kids. I just love being with kids, either working or playing with them. I came from a big family. Taking care people, especially with kids, comes naturally. I used to babysit for my aunts. I am experienced in cooking, cleaning, doing grocery, and other household chores. Although, I am not familiar with infant care, you can trust me in taking care toddlers and older kids. I love doing activities, arts and crafts and even help them with their homeworks if needed. I am currently working in a doctor's office as a medical assistant. I am offering service after work, which is after 5pm until midnight on the weekdays and any time on the weekends.

"Johanna is AMAZING! My two boys love her - she does everything from amazing arts & crafts, to helping with homework, to getting them playing outside! She also drives them and does everything involved with after school activities: packing snacks, getting the right gear, etc."

"When we hired Amani, we felt like we hit the jackpot. We were very lucky to find her on UrbanSitter at the beginning of school year. She was picking up kids from school, taking them to afternoon activities, helping them with assignments. She prepped food for them, helped organize their closets and keep their spaces neat and orderly. We would hire her again in a heartbeat."

"Caitlin has been such a lifesaver for our family. We hired Caitlin to help with the after school routine. The kids took to her instantly. She does it all - school pick ups, dinners, baths, lunch making, clean up, etc. She has really helped make a busy time so much easier for us."
